LOL!!! I love seeing your pics of the homes you fixed up and reloved. You are the house whispers for sure. Love that you took this sweet cottage home to new beauty. I bet you miss that home. Yes yes show us more. Have a great start to the new week.xoxoKris

Love looking at the homes you have lived in. We have live in a lot of different places too, being in the ministry. We never owned a home, but lived in parsonages or rentals. None as pretty as the one you show. You and your hero have a knack for making things beautiful.

I really enjoy the old house pictures. I think we are on the same wave length because that "flowers in the wheelbarrow" shot could've been my old house! One never knows if you're joking about your husband or not. But, I was married to a clown who jumped out of trees, and when he had one beer too many, tried to somersault over a rocking horse and on and on. We divorced after 20 years of that and I have nothing but pity for his current wife!

Oh yes...before and after's are always fun to see. Go for it! I always say. I have a saying I think you would like, I heard it last night. I might put this in a few of my cards. "Sometimes God calms the storm and sometimes God calms the person".

Ha! Your hubby is just as nuts as you Diana, who else puts his underwear in the microwave? :-)I like your photos showing your houses, show us more! I bet you did great renovations on each house you have owned. (Dog kennels in the basement? Oh, better you than me!)

I very much enjoyed seeing the houses and yards. Love the window box and picket fence. My Ex remodeled houses for many years but we didn't live in the ones he worked on. Amazing what a difference a few changes can make! I wish now I had pictures of them.

Hello Diana. I love this little cottage. It reminds me of our first rental home back ages ago! Love the white picket fence and the mysterious story about the light in the attic window. Can Mr. Nana Diana still do those acrobats!

I love seeing before and after photos of houses that were remodeled. Now, are these houses you're showing us ones you lived in? I really like the living room window with the flower pot, and I love the view in December with the snow. That always makes my heart sing to see the snow surrounding a home. Yes, indeed, I would enjoy these posts very much, Diana.

Before and afters of refurbished homes are my favorite, so bring on the pictures! I remember polaroids, and the old 110 camera that we had most of our early married lives. I sure wish I had a DSLR back when the kids were little but I have one for the grandbaby that's coming in November so I'm all set :) Did your hubby make it over the chair he was trying to jump?

Dear Diana, I love that house and all the touches(especially lace curtains, which I am thinking of adding lace toppers in my kitchen-is that out of date?). That's a huge house for a first home; we didn't get one that size until we had been married 13 years. I loved it...it was our last house in Ca. In fact, our best friends still live next door and we get to see the house whenever we head out there.Share some more of your homes please.Hugs,Noreen

Your houses are gorgeous sweet friend!! OK? So please show me MORE HOUSES instead of your hero accidental pics, lol..I love them, I think you always had such great taste for homes and for decorating.I hope you're both well, as well as your family.Love,FABBY

Diana, all of your houses are lovely. You did a great job, and have very good taste. A designer you are! So pretty, that yard, with the bike, fence. Love it. The only thing about your hubby and the chair is when i saw that, I could only imagine it being my husband doing the same thing at the moment, and I haven't stopped laughing yet. Sadly he is asleep, beside me right now, lol. I hope yours didn't get hurt to bad. And, sorry I laughed, but only imagined mine doing that, my hubby is always doing silly things. I really do love the way you fixed your houses up though. I love reading your blogs. I don't comment much, but I do enjoy them, and you're right amazing yourself !! Hugs, Susan

Diana it is always such a delight to read your posts. I would love to see more of your rehab homes and this one was super pretty. Loved the picket fence and the window box. So keep those rehabs coming girl.

Love it!! Please keep showing us before and afters of homes you have had over the years. I am always so in awe of people who are fearless when it comes to taking on a project like that and actually finishing it!! Now, as for your husband, he certainly is fearless. Maybe you can just add a little picture now and again of some of his antics to go along with the houses. -Jenn

I really love what you did to the exterior of this house. To me that's a tough job. We are working on it now with the city house. I can't decide on the accent colors against the existing white brick. I hate that term that paint can be done over---not at $40 a gallon and labor!!!! Duh.

Diana, Your home was probably the cutest house on the block. I loved the fence. Poor hero. I see people on the funny video show doing crazy things and I always wonder...Why?? Hope he is doing well. I would love to see photos of all your houses. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

Your Cottage on Cook was adorable. Miss Kris is right: you are the house whisperer. If anyone can take a stinky, neglected house and make it into a charming and inviting home, it is you. I would love to see more pictures of your homes. Your Hero looks like he should have been wearing a cape...ha! xoxo

Oh how adorable, Diana...it looks like a doll house! I absolutely love that garden area and I think that's what Pinterest is all about...us being copy cats...I am also a good one, LOL! I haven't been following you for that long and I did not know this about you and you Hero man. I would love to see the pics from inside as well! I will be looking forward to your upcoming posts as you share more!

Ha..You are a pair , for sure..Ant house that you buy would be lucky to have you..I'm sure they were left better than they were found..You might think about buying something a little more move in ready this time??? too

Well that last shot has got to be the best of all! LOL Humor is such a gift from God, isn't it, and should be well developed. You two do it so well! Now about the houses, yes, I love seeing photos of renos.(sp??) I won't even show the photos of the house we bought and gutted in the 80s. The front porch was two feet deep in used Pampers diapers and there had been dogs left (yes, LEFT) in the house. We had to take that house down to the studs. But anyway, yes, I always love projects. I wish our current house (28 years) weren't still a work in progress, but it is. LOL

I always enjoy before and after photos of homes. I got addicted to HGTV because of it! This ranch looks like a classic. It must have been a chore to get that basement to smell better. I'm assuming bleach was involved? The back yard was cute- love the bicycle. You two were workaholics! Okay so my abdomen hurts just looking at the picture of your hero taking a dive towards that chair!

I would love to see the houses you have rehabbed! Can't believe there's been 15 of them. All that work involved and then all that moving - oy! This house is gorgeous. I don't think I would've wanted to move!

Sorry, I am still giggling over your hubby diving over chairs - I truly would break my neck! You've moved almost as much as I have, although most of my moves were involuntary air force brat moves...having to go with my family. I like to steal ideas from my neighbors yards too, except out here in the country I don't have any neighbors! Have a super day and please tell your hero to at least wear a helmet if he is going to start leaping tall buildings in a single bound! LOL! Blessings!
